Chapter 251: Muddy the Waters

It was already late at night, and the inner courtyard of Fang's new mansion was as lively as a market, nearly a hundred torches were lit one after another, illuminating the vicinity of the garden as bright as day, and hundreds of female guards nervously surrounded Fang Zheng and all the female dependents, staring at the unlucky assassin hanging upside down from the tree.

The assassin was very skillful, but unfortunately his luck was too bad, and he entered the Fang Mansion and walked into the garden......

"You guys are so despicable!" Silence was the Assassin's code of conduct, but at this time the Assassin could not help but speak out, his voice full of grief and indignation, full of accusations and accusations.

Fang Zheng's eyes straightened when he saw it, and then he came back to his senses, feeling a little guilty, and said that the soldier can be killed and not humiliated, this guy can be tossed enough tonight, but ...... I didn't pretend to be these organs, where can I go to cry out for injustice?

"Put him down." Fang Zheng ordered.

"You don't have to pretend!" The assassin shouted, and with a flash of the knife in his hand, he severed the rope around his foot.

Then the assassin laughed, and with the help of force, he kicked the trunk of the tree with both feet, and the whole person somersaulted in mid-air, and jumped up on the spot without hesitation after landing, and jumped towards the edge of the garden. The garden was so wicked that the Assassin didn't want to stay long.

Fang Zheng and the other women opened their mouths wide, watching the assassin jump around like a kangaroo with chicken blood in the spacious garden in front of the door, heading straight for Ye Ling'er, who was hiding behind the guards.

Staring at Ye Ling'er's frightened eyes, endless killing intent surged up on the assassin's face. There are only a few people in the world who can stop my hard work, and no matter how many guards you have, what can you do? Kill you today, maybe I can still escape alive and ask His Royal Highness for credit......

Thinking of this, a brutal and bloodthirsty smile appeared on the Assassin's face. With a kick of both feet, he swept forward again. It's getting closer, I'm getting closer and closer to that little girl, and my mission is about to be completed......

Perhaps because of the excitement, the Assassin's jump was unusually high. He's calculated that if he lands in the garden one more time, he can jump out of the damn garden and kill the target directly.

Fang Zheng watched as the assassin jumped into the sky, and then looked at the spot where he might fall. It was found that the place was very abruptly covered with a conspicuous layer of dry grass. Looks very quirky......

Fang Zheng was a warm-hearted person, and hurriedly reminded him: "Hey, Brother Assassin, be careful! There's a ...... there."

How could the Assassins bother with him? When the person is about to land. At the thought of being able to complete the assassination mission immediately, he couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Come onβ€”oops!" ”

Halfway through Fang Zheng's words, the unlucky assassin had another accident. After landing on the ground, his body sank and he fell into a dug hole. After falling in, there was a muffled sound of entering the water.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Big hole. Fang Zheng blinked, and then finished the sentence just now.

After the assassin fell in, there was no movement for a long time, Fang Zheng looked left and right, sighed and said, "This hole, which immoral guy dug it?" ”

Everyone shook their heads blankly, and only Changping was the only one who covered his mouth and laughed.

Fang Zheng squinted at her and said with a smile: "Wife, you laugh the most." Did you set up these traps in the garden? ”

Changping slapped Fang Zheng with a smile and said angrily: "you!" Am I so lacking in virtue? ”

The assassin fell into the cave and didn't make a sound for a long time, Fang Zheng took a few steps forward in a fuss and exclaimed apologetically, "Oops! Brother Assassin. What happened to you? Okay? ”

There was a faint sigh from inside the cave, like weeping, heartbreaking, tear-jerking.

Fang Zheng was under the protection of the guards. When I got to the entrance of the cave, I saw that it was very deep. There is more than enough, no wonder the assassin couldn't make a sound for a long time after he fell, and he didn't fall to his death to tell his fortune. The Assassin is still strong, and he is not dead.

When Fang Zheng saw it, he was immediately shocked, and even he couldn't help but feel wronged by the assassin brother, standing at the edge of the cave and stomping his feet and scolding: "Who is this? Who the hell dug this hole? It's so immoral! If you dig a hole, dig it, and pour dung into it, is this what people do? Ah! It stinks! Stay away, everybody! ”

Looking at the half-dead assassin in the cave, but his eyes were staring at Fang Zheng viciously, Fang Zheng rubbed his hands quite embarrassedly, and said guiltily: "...... Does it hurt? It must hurt, right? So what...... Can you come out first? ”

Fang Zheng's words of concern fell on the assassin's ears, but they were as uncomfortable as a slap in the face.

"You ...... It's too much of a bully! ”

The assassin was already angry at this time, stared at the blood-red eyes, shouted violently, and his whole body rose from the hole, with the smell of dung all over his body, as if he had just been fished out of the pit, twisted his waist in mid-air, and with a flash of the knife, he shot towards Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng was shocked, his feet pedaled back a few steps, and the female guards who were protecting him immediately blocked their bodies and protected them in front of Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng's eyes widened, and he suddenly raised his head, pointing above the head of the assassin who was still waving his knife in mid-air, and shouted, "Brother Assassin! Be careful! ”

The assassin was really afraid of the unfathomable traps in this Fang Mansion, and when he heard Fang Zheng's words, his expression couldn't help but change, and he blurted out, "What's the matter?" ”

As soon as he spoke, the true qi in his body couldn't help but leak, and the whole person was like a stone falling from a high altitude, plopping, and fell into the big hole again, and the fecal water inside even splashed out of the hole.

Fang Zheng was still frowning and looking at the air, and after a while, he slowly withdrew his fingers, scratched his head and smiled apologetically: "Hehe, I read it wrong, I thought there was another mechanism......

All the people bowed down.

A well-planned assassination operation has now turned into a farce, and the entire Fang Mansion has been alarmed, and the guards in charge of the periphery have transferred nearly a hundred marksmen trained by the Forbidden Palace, occupying the commanding heights one by one, and aiming at the assassins with bows and arrows. If he moves, he will be shot into a sieve.

Knowing that he could not complete his mission today, the assassin crawled out of the cave with difficulty, turned his head to look at the situation around him, and stood outside the cave, silent, looking depressed and sad.

Fang Zheng was far away from him, and he couldn't bear it, and shouted: "Hey! Brother Assassin, it's not easy for you, or I'll forget it today, and if you have time to assassinate me another day, okay? ”

Changping slapped him the side and said angrily: "What nonsense? Is there anything like you? Ask someone to kill you another day, it's too long? ”

After speaking, Changping stared at the assassin and scolded viciously: "Someone! Take him down for me! Torture, you must ask the mastermind behind the scenes! ”

The Assassin burst into laughter. Then he pointed at Fang Zheng and shouted angrily: "You...... Vile! It's too much of a deception! ”

Fang Zheng really felt wronged this time, and when he heard this, he spread his hands innocently, and defended with a bitter face: "It really has nothing to do with me......"

As the Assassin finished speaking, the corners of his mouth squirmed, and soon a black stream of blood flowed out. Then his whole body fell to the ground. The breath is gone.

Fang Zheng sighed, these organs are really not arranged by me, people are dead and let me bear this wrong, this guy has arrived in the Hades Palace. You won't be falsely accusing me, will you? I can't go to the Hades Palace to defend myself, look at this matter!

Glancing at the corpse of the assassin, Fang Zheng sighed, it is not easy to be an assassin these days, and if you fail, you will eat poison. How else to say that the ancients were stupid? If you can't win, won't you run? Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, hide in the mountains to find a few adventures, eat a few elixirs, and then come out to take revenge, why can't you think about it so much?

At this point, Fang Zheng felt that the killer brother had done a good job, and people found that there was no future as a killer, and how fast the transformation was. Now the shadow pays him two hundred taels of silver a month, and asks him to be the head of the coach with a high salary, and he still doesn't do the same thing, so people. You have to learn to be flexible, you have to learn to see the wind and change the rudder, and survival is the most important thing, everything else is bullshit! Dignity? How much is dignity a pound? Bah!

The guards carried the Assassin's body to the front yard. After checking for most of the day, I didn't find any valuable clues on him. Then the guards sent out their men. Tighter guards around the inner courtyard of the Fang Mansion.

When this happened, the ladies in the inner courtyard were so frightened that they didn't dare to sleep alone, so the women gathered in Fang Zheng's bedroom.

The warblers and the swallows gathered in a room, each good at winning, with very different styles, and they were so happy that Fang Zheng's eyebrows were gone.

"Husband, the assassin committed suicide, the clue is broken, does the husband have a number in his heart? Is it the same person who kidnapped you last time? Changping's face was full of gloom.

Fang Zheng met the worried eyes of the women, smiled gratefully, and said, "No, the mastermind behind the assassination of me this time should be another person." ”

"Who?" The women asked in unison.

Fang Zheng lowered his voice and said softly, "If my guess is correct, this assassin must be sent by the British King......

"What?" The women were shocked, "How do you see that?" ”

Fang Zheng shook his head deeply, at a forty-five degree angle, stared at the night sky with his neck tilted, and said in a deep voice: "...... A man's intuition! ”

"Cut!" The women's expressions of disdain are surprisingly consistent, and they have a tacit understanding over time.

Fang Zheng smiled and glanced at Ye Ling'er, who was sitting silently in the corner, and secretly thought in his heart, this assassin obviously waved his knife at Ye Ling'er first, proving that the person he wanted to kill was actually Ye Ling'er. The only person in this world who has an enmity with her and wishes for her death is the King of England. Ah! Recently, Young Master Ben's IQ has been getting higher and higher, and I can figure out such a complex problem, it's really amazing, so Ming'er will disperse the spirit of the king in front of his wife......

However, if this analysis came out, Fang Zheng was afraid of scaring Ye Ling'er, so he pursed his lips, and finally passed it with a vague word.

When the danger passed, Fang Zheng couldn't help but think of a question that had been haunting his mind for a long time.

"Hey, Mi'er, who set up those mechanisms in the garden? It's too lacking! ”

Changping was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and he held his stomach and laughed for a long time before he said, "This matter, you have to ask your sister-in-law ......."

Fang Zheng was shocked: "What did the little princess do? ”

Seeing Changping nodding with a smile, Fang Zheng's eyes straightened, and he stammered for a while: "For...... Why? Our garden recruited her and provoked her? ”

Changping smiled: "Who told you to give her those stinky silver yesterday, the little girl was angry, and she looked for you all day and didn't find you, so she ...... Hee-hee, she called a few guards and set up a ...... in the garden Hee-hee, haha, hahahaha......"

Fang Zheng was dumbfounded, those co-authored organs were originally prepared for me?

Think of the glowing traps, the ropes that hang people upside down, and ...... And the stinking pit full of dung......

Fang Zheng couldn't help but shudder. - Brother Assassin, a good man!

"Your sister is so bad! Much worse than me! Compared to her, I am simply an innocent and pure young man......" Fang Zheng accused.

There was a sound of bangs outside the courtyard, it was already four watches, Fang Zheng thought about it, walked out of the bedroom alone, and gestured to the roof of the wing on the side of the main house, and soon, a black shadow quietly rolled over from the roof and fell lightly in front of Fang Zheng.

"My subordinates have seen adults." The black shadow saluted Fang Zheng.

Buy a double insurance for your own safety. Lord Fang, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, not only arranged guards, but also arranged for shadow subordinates to lurk around the mansion just in case.

"The brothers all know what happened just now, right?" Fang Zheng said lightly.

"Yes, sir. The matter has been reported back to Camp Shadow. ”

"What do you say? Any thoughts? ”

"After repeated demonstrations. Judging by the object of the Assassin's attack, Lord Wen and his subordinates believed that the Assassin was most likely sent by the British King. ”

After confirming his judgment, Fang Zheng relieved his heart.

The shadow subordinate glanced up at Fang Zheng. He said respectfully: "My subordinates, please tell my lord, whether the body of this assassin should be handed over to Jinling Mansion Yin and asked them to solve the case, or whether the subordinates should bring it back to the camp." Handled by subordinates? ”

Fang Zheng thought for a while, shook his head and smiled: "This corpse is not a treasure, just throw it away, you can watch it and do it casually......"

The shadow subordinate bowed and retreated.

"Wait!" Fang Zheng stopped him with a stunned expression, stood in place and thought for a long time, the thief's eyes rolled sharply, and after a while, he smiled evilly at his subordinates: "Hey." I'm on a good errand for you, I was wrong just now, this corpse is a treasure,...... Call some of your brothers, while it is dark. Hurry up and carry the corpse and throw it inside the walls of the Prince's Mansion, careful not to be discovered by the people inside......"

"Huh?" The shadow subordinates were shocked when they heard this: "My lord, this ...... What does this mean? ”

Fang Zheng smiled like a fox stealing a chicken: "...... Tomorrow you will let out the wind everywhere. It is said that the people of the Prince's Mansion killed the people of the British King, and the body is still in the Prince's Mansion. It's best to get some blood stains outside the walls of the Prince's Mansion or something, so that passers-by can know that this matter is not far from ten at a glance, you disguise yourself, and spread this matter in the teahouse restaurant in the capital tomorrow, the more people believe that the better, and the bigger the trouble, the better......"

"But, but, my lord, this assassin has infiltrated the Fang Mansion......" The shadow subordinates were puzzled.

"Nonsense!" Fang Zheng couldn't help laughing, and reprimanded with a straight face: "That assassin is obviously going to assassinate the prince, but it's just ...... It's just, hahahaha, it's just that this guy doesn't recognize it, fuck! Went to the wrong door...... Haha, I'm just correcting it for him......"

spread rumors to blame the prince, forcing the prince to admit that it is not, and it is not if he does not admit it, the yellow mud falls into the crotch of his pants, and it is not is. In a few days, if he makes another bad move in the court, he will ensure that the water in this capital is already muddy enough, and it will be stirred up even more turbid by Fang Zheng.

If the shadow subordinates realized, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Fang Zheng and praised sincerely: "My lord, you are so humble...... Cough, it's a lot of scheming! ”

The palace was smoky.

Next to the dragon couch where dragons and phoenixes are carved, there is a delicate and small stove, and the fire in the stove is burning brightly.

The prince walked to the stove, waved his hand and motioned to the palace maid who fanned the stove to go away, and then he rolled up his sleeves, picked up the medicine that had been fried on the stove, filtered the black medicine residue, poured the steaming potion as thick as black ink into the medicine bowl, blew a few breaths gently, tested the temperature with his mouth, and then respectfully brought the medicine to the emperor.

"Father, drink the medicine." The prince's voice was as soft as ever, and his gestures carried an elegant demeanor.

The emperor was half-lying on the dragon bed, coughing constantly, but a pair of cloudy old eyes were staring at the prince's every move. Seeing that the prince turned around and brought the medicine, he half-closed his eyes and snorted weakly.

"Prince, the Jiangnan Liufu tax case has been delayed for half a year, how did you deal with it?" Although he was sick in bed, the emperor's thinking was very clear.

"Father, due to the complicated relationship behind this case, the many officials involved, and the collusion between the government and the local wealthy businessmen, the son has ordered Chu Shangshu of the Criminal Department to personally handle the case, and instructed Chu Shangshu to continue to investigate no matter who is involved, even if it is a relative ......of the emperor."

Looking at the emperor who was silent with his eyes closed, the prince said carefully: "Father, is it okay for the sons to deal with it like this?" ”

The emperor nodded, then shook his head again, sighed, and said, "Chu Shangshu...... Alas! I'm afraid he won't be able to handle this case! ”

"Why? Chu Shangshu is a court official of the Criminal Department, and even he can't handle a case, who else in my Hua Dynasty can handle it? The prince didn't understand.

The emperor opened his eyes, looked at the prince lightly, and said: "The Jiangnan tax case involves countless officials from the six prefectures, who privately falsified accounts, embezzled nearly four million taels of silver that should have been handed over to the treasury, resulting in an empty treasury, and the soldiers on the border this spring could not pay their salaries,...... Last year, Pan rebelled against the capital and caused chaos in the capital, and I originally ordered Fang Zheng to go to Jiangnan to handle the case, but I had to put it on hold for the time being......"

When the prince heard this, a little joy flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting, and then he quickly regained his calm, and said respectfully: "Father, at this time, the thieves have been eliminated, and the four seas are peaceful. ”

The emperor glanced at the prince in a complicated way, and slowly shook his head and said, "It's not right now, the capital is not quiet, and Fang Zheng can't leave Beijing." ”

The crown prince hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Father, there is a question that the ministers have never understood, Fang Zheng is a person who is out of character and is a ...... Some of them are slippery, and their knowledge is ...... is not outstanding, why does my father use this person so much? ”

When the emperor heard the prince mention Fang Zheng, he couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to speak so politely, Fang Zheng is unlearned, impetuous, frivolous, slippery, despicable, and shameless, he is simply a villain in the market." But...... Prince, the way of employing people is not to see how good his character is and how talented he is, but to see whether he is useful to himself, and put the right person in the right position, and things can be done. And Fang Zheng has one of the biggest advantages......"

"What's the plus?"

The emperor smiled, stared at the prince's face, and said in a deep voice: "...... His greatest strength is that he has no ambition! ”

The crown prince frowned when he heard this, a little panic flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly concealed his strong smile and said: "My father is really wise, and my sons still have a lot of shortcomings, so we have to learn from my father." ”

The emperor stared at the prince's face for a long time, and finally lay back on the bed with a tired look, and said lightly: "Before you startle the snake, call Chu Shangshu back." I'm old, I'm sick, there are some things that you still have to understand by yourself, I'm afraid I can't teach you much, you ...... Do it yourself. ”

The prince's face changed, and he didn't know what his father's sentence "good for himself" meant, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "My father is in his prime, the spring and autumn period is at its peak, and he is only slightly dyed, and he will be healed soon. ”

The emperor didn't look at the prince, closed his eyes, waved his hand tiredly, and said indifferently: "You can step down, I'm tired, I'm going to rest." ”

The crown prince said yes, facing the emperor, and slowly retreated towards the palace gate.

"Prince." The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and stopped him.

"The son is here."

"Liu Changsheng, the leading general of the Shence Army, how did he die?"

The prince was shocked when he heard this, but he still replied with an unchanged face: "Back to my father, Liu Changsheng died of a violent illness, and the work of Jinling Mansion and the imperial doctor of Ouchi have all been checked. ”

When the emperor heard this, a deep look of disappointment and regret flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand lightly: "Well, I know, you can step down." ”

"The father takes care of the dragon's body, and the son retires."
